Chapter 46

The Epang Palace was not as luxurious as he had imagined. This legendary, magnificent palace had only been built with a circle of outer walls, and the high platforms inside had merely laid their foundations. As for gold and mercury, there was no trace of them to be found.

Lan Moying's response was flawless, plunging the reporters who had originally seen a glimmer of hope back into an interview dilemma. It seemed that trying to get any real scoop out of Lan Moying was truly harder than ascending to heaven. However, their journalistic ethics and tenacity drove them to continue pressing with questions.

It was almost noon by the time all thirty-five students of the Dual-Cultivation Department arrived. Xingyue looked around; most of them were familiar faces.

Zhang Ziye searched all the way for five minutes and saw nothing at all. Occasionally, he would encounter some wandering skeletons. Although these skeletons were at level one hundred, their strength was simply negligible in Zhang Ziye's eyes, so he ran into virtually no trouble along the way.

A force composed of more than three hundred Awakeners instantly reversed the charge momentum of the Light Below the Slope.

However, if he did not answer, what if it aroused their suspicion? Once they broke in later, wouldn't he still be dead either way?

Wu Yu's figure disappeared, and only then did everyone feel a sense of relief. Yet countless cultivators, as if tirelessly persistent, continued to madly shout Wu Yu's name.

The moment he arrived here, the magma began to churn violently like a roiling river. Immediately following that, a huge, fiery-red figure emerged from the magma, transforming into a handsome youth dressed entirely in fiery-red attire who appeared before him.

"But the times have changed, and that place already has a new master. Besides, aren't you living very well right now? Why should you meddle in external affairs?!" Lingfeng still could not comprehend Dewey's actions.

Ling Fan turned his gaze to Tianyu and Tania and said, "Raise your hand if you are in favor of continuing deeper into the forest." As he spoke, Ling Fan was the first to raise his hand, followed closely by Tianyu. Tania shot an apologetic look at old Gulu and raised her hand as well.

He had spent some time in the hospital recently and enjoyed a few days of peace, but now, having just been discharged, such an incident had already occurred.

Earlier, Xiamu had told Lao Ba that she wanted to take Suma to see the ancestors. Lao Ba said he didn't have time and wanted to see if he could squeeze some time out. As a result, Xiamu stated that he wasn't factored into the plan at all; either they would take the Fourteenth Prince along, or they would just have the First Elder Brother dispatch a security escort.

This action, falling into the eyes of Shen Yiqi and Liang Jingyi, caused both of them to be secretly startled. Exchanging glances, Shen Yiqi saw undisguised envy in his friend's eyes, while Liang Jingyi saw undisguised smugness in his friend's eyes.

When Captain Wang heard this, he found it utterly bizarre. He actually couldn't detect any injuries on himself—how could something so occult happen?

At this very moment, everyone could not help muttering under their breath, their faces filled with bewildered expressions.

As soon as they stepped through the second courtyard gate, they heard the roaring of the Fourth Prince. Eighth Brother and Xiamu exchanged smiles. Ah, it had been a long time since they had seen the Fourth Brother lose his temper.

The lion regained its wits by this time. No longer looking for anyone to fight, it silently sat down to one side, unsure whether it was trying to figure out how to crack King's hidden weapons or simply sulking in anger.

Madam Tawada said, "That seems rather unlikely. That is a demon-revealing mirror passed down from ancient times in our village. It has no effect on ordinary people; it is said to be able to make demons manifest, but who knows?" She made a dismissive gesture, seemingly disbelieving that the mirror could possess any other function.

After all, having worked within his own team for a long time, they had already achieved seamless synergy. If he were to integrate into a new team, others might require him to submit to their leadership, making it impossible to pursue his research on artemisinin.

Fengyun Wuhen's own eight-point sword intent was likewise continuously tempered and condensed through these two new sword techniques.

The storefronts along this street were relatively sparse. Waves of exotic medicinal fragrance permeated the street, giving one the illusory sensation of having tumbled into an immortal realm's grotto-heaven.

At the end, Cheng Dongyuan bowed slightly to Ling Dong and said, "Vice Hall Master Ling, please!" In public, Cheng Dongyuan still addressed Ling Dong by his official title.

"How did you find me? How is it possible for your divine sense to enter this formation? How do you know the situation here? How could you possibly know?" The smiling old man currently had too many unanswerable questions swirling in his mind. In a single instant, his divine sense stirred, putting forth countless queries.

"Isn't that the Xuantian Sect? Could something have happened?" Although Xiao Ning could not sense anything, seeing the grave expressions of the two, especially after Li Chen pointed out the source of the emanating aura, Xiao Ning also said with astonishment.

"This?" Li Tiancheng, Qinglong, and the others were somewhat dumbfounded, because this kind of atmosphere was something they had never imagined or witnessed before.

Just now, Yeyi had suddenly returned, bringing along this pit bull and claiming she had seen the creature attacking humans on the road.

"Good! Good! Good! The greatest moment is about to arrive! Now, I will cast these God Realms one by one into the Ziyan Realm, to accomplish a heaven-defying feat!" The corner of Fengyun Wuhen's mouth pulled back, revealing a hearty smile.

Ichigo did not launch an attack while Kariya lost control of his emotions because he did not want to take advantage of someone's vulnerability, but that did not mean he would show mercy once he had already gained the upper hand.

Qingchen exchanged glances with Zhang Long, their eyes communicating a unanimous thought. After the last dish was thoroughly wiped out by the three of Wang Xing, Zhang Long hauled Zhu Ming in one hand and Wang Xing in the other, leaving Liu Yun—the heaviest and the one who had eaten the most—to Su Qingchen.

He wanted to see for himself: if Payne did not die, how else could Jue hoodwink Nagato into joining, and how could he make the Akatsuki organization serve his ends?

When the group of four retreated to the forest in front of Werewolf Valley, Tang Cheng came to a halt and spoke.
